They can have this one recap, as a treat.
Carrie should not be out without protection.
Enough soap-boxing for now.
Sifeddine Elamine/SHOWTIME
I wish her many more scenes among natural daylight.
JSOC signed off on it?
Carrie asks incredulously, before POTUS replies that they whined like hell about it first.
Sifeddine Elamine/SHOWTIME
As they say in my country,oofda.
(Shes done nothing wrong this time, so Ill own this one.)
Tasneem
INT.
Tasneem, dressed in a gorgeous flowing white number, is miserable to be there.
Her hatred for the Americans and the peace deal they brokered without her or General Guloms involvement is palpable.
(You put a grenade through his windshield, he says of his new best pal Haqqani.
Which to be honest was the only useful thing you did.

He storms out in a huff but then comes back in a bigger huff with a gang of henchmen.
Everyone has henchmen onHomeland.
I may have even involuntarily pumped my fist in the air just a little bit.
But before I get into my pontificating, lets just replay the last six minutes of the episode.
Every available air asset is headed to the area of the disappearance (holy Islamabad attack flashbacks!
), quick reaction forces are on their way, and CIA officers have been recalled from the field.
We follow the escort helicopter as they spot wreckage and, well, itswreckage.
A smoldering pile of what used to be a helicopter.
Theres space for paranoia here and Im inclined to fill it, at least for a week.
